i’m sorry but if you think “we” (american progressive spaces, let alone americans at large) had some sort of tangible reconciliation with the specter of the scary trans woman in media then you are more naive than any 21 year old on the fucking planet. that did not fucking happen. people are still defending rhps and silence of the lambs with their dying breath and refusing to acknowledge the transmisogyny at the center of these works. shut the fuck up and think for five seconds before making some snarky put down

pixiv artists will draw a cute girl and then add the sign of Mars next to her to indicate she is a warrior?

it would feel so awesome to be a final fantasy white mage with the big-ass robes and wooden staff

and the brown leather gloves FUUUUUCK

In my experience, one of the reasons the idea of "brain gender" is such a persistent gremlin even in ostensibly progressive spaces is that a lot of folks haven't really abandoned the bioessentialist framework of gender, they've just modified it to include trans people, and trans-inclusive bioessentialism falls apart if brain gender isn't real.
